A 17-year-old girl who was physically and sexually attacked in Sønderborg will herself face charges for using pepper spray to fend off her assailant.
The teenager told police that she was attacked in central Sønderborg on Wednesday at around 10pm by an English-speaking man in dark clothing. She said the man knocked her to the ground and then unbuttoned her pants and attempted to undress her.
The girl was able to save herself from further assault by using pepper spray on the attacker, but now she may be the one who ends up in legal trouble.
“It is illegal to possess and use pepper spray, so she will likely be charged for that,†local police spokesman Knud Kirsten told TV Syd.
The case has sparked a backlash among some Danes who point to increasing reports of sexual harassment in Sønderborg and other Danish cities at the same time that police say they are stretched too thin to properly carry out their duties.
Numerous readers wrote in the comments section on TV Syd’s story about the incident that they would be willing to pay the girl’s fine, which will most likely be 500 kroner.
The man who attacked the 17-year-old fled from the scene and has not been charged.
Sexual assaults have been in the news in Sønderborg recently after several women in the town reported earlier this month that they sometimes feel harassed by the aggressive behaviour of some male asylum seekers and refugees at the local asylum centre.
It is not known, however, if the assailant in this latest incident was an asylum seeker or refugee.
In related news, a nightclub in Sønderborg is now barring guests from entering if they cannot speak Danish, English or German. Other Danish nightclubs are also reportedly considering similar moves.
What an upsetting story.
This is just evil.
I bought my two daughters cans of wasp spray and they have them in their cars in the glove boxes. I also got them additional cans to keep in their homes. I'm told that wasp spray is very, very effective against attackers!! And it is extremely accurate to 10 feet. Excellent post Cuttnhorse; glad you posted this so all of us can benefit from reading it here.
No, it isn't. Cops everywhere prefer easy arrests.
When the assailant is gone, and there is no likelihood of easily finding him, and you have just confessed to using an illegal means of defending yourself, guess who the easy arrest is?
If you've had to defend yourself, and you are OK, and there are no bodies laying around, and you aren't 100 percent sure that nothing you did was remotely illegal, then don't bother involving the cops. They will just make it worse.
Normally, yes. But it actually happened in a European country quite recently. Mini-skirts, IIRC.
Men .... supposedly ......... in mini-skirts.
You can’t make this stuff up.
If Knud Kirsten is not hanging from a lamppost by sundown, then the Danes deserve more rapes.
What is going on here? Hang the bastard or at a minimum deport the SOB!
It is not known, however, if the assailant in this latest incident was an asylum seeker or refugee.
What, pray tell, is the difference and who cares anyhow? Hang his Muzzie azz and any others like him. Your entire "civilized" culture is at stake here - not his "feelings".
if the assailant is gone, what proof is there of the assault with pepper spray?
What kind of government denies its citizens the basic right of self defense, when nature provides a means of self defense to every life form on earth?
I despise the left, they're stupid, no evil, beyond belief.
[[No, it isn’t. Cops everywhere prefer easy arrests.]]
Yep because they KNOW that trampling the rights of WHITE people won’t result In riots, crimes, and outrage- it’s only blacks, muslims, Mexicans etc that they fear and dare nto upset by ‘violating their rights’ like they do to white folks
If she lived in Texas she would have shot him and some patriotic Texan would have replenished her ammunition.
GOY.....And be sure to hand out sharp little kitchen knives to perform cosmetic surgery on the muzzie animals.
oohrah!!
It's far past time for Europeans to start using deadly force in their own defense against the muslim insects. Don't report anything. Just let the landscape be littered with muslim carcasses. Stuff some pork fat in their mouths, and let them rot in the streets and parks.
You warned us when Pim Fortuyn was murdered. We should have listened, everyone should have listened.
Good to see you are still posting my FRiend.
It’s illegal in Norway too but you might have some wiggle room if it was “bear spray”
Self defense AND a salad dressing!
Self defense AND a salad dressing!
Her fine would be $71.62 US. Cheap enough to save her life. Hope she stocks up on more spray.
500 Kroner is $58.45
